Love On A Tightrope

Set in 1968, Love on a Tightrope is inspired by the real encounter between legendary trapeze artist Pinito del Oro and poet Natalia Sosa Ayala. When Pinito hires Natalia to help write her memoirs during her final tour with the Circo Price, what begins as a professional collaboration slowly evolves into an emotionally charged and deeply intimate connection. Through letters exchanged over decades and memories reimagined across time, the film reconstructs a relationship shaped as much by longing and imagination as by reality. Blending lyrical storytelling with restrained emotional intensity, Arima León’s debut explores love, silence, and the constraints imposed by a society unable to name what exists between them
